Thank You For Accepting Me As I

Usually, When A Young Girl Is Pregnant, She Drops Out Of School And Concentrates On Being A Mother. I Thought Thats What I Had To Do, But My Counselors Told Me There Was No Way They Would Let Me Drop Out. I Had Too Much Promise.

I Made A Living Out Of Singing Mexican Music.

My Mother Never Let On That Anything Was Wrong. She Kept Her Chin Up And Acted As If Everything Were Just Fine. So We Did Too.

When Somebody Elses Happiness Makes You Happy, It Means You Are A Person With A Big Heart.

Mexican Music Runs Through My Veins. I Loved It. Growing Up, My Father Didn't Allow Us To Listen To English Music At Home. That's All I Heard. I Had No Choice.
